Bruce Loveday, a Gladstone, Queensland, Australia mango grower, produced his best crop ever despite an otherwise crippling drought . "I normally apply 730 liters of water per tree per week during the growing season, but this year I was only able to supply them with 70 liters per week, with none at all some weeks."

The hidden factor, Bruce believes, is the Sonic Bloom. "A couple of old blokes who are mango freaks said my fruit was the best they had ever tasted ."
